Hogwarts: From Luna's House to Godhood Through Intense Competition

He talked on and on, before finally realizing what he had said and slapping himself on the forehead with a loud, thunderous sound.

"Look at my memory! I'll bring Buckbeak out right now, he's a handsome young man! I compared them for a long time, and he's the most handsome one! Wait for me a moment, I'll be right back!"

He shook his mole-skin coat, letting the rainwater slide down to the ground, and before Vizet could help him cast the Water and Fire Immunity Spell, he ran into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Before leaving, he also instructed Ya Ya, "Ya Ya! Bring me a few weasels!"

The rain stopped not long after Hagrid and Awacheon left.

The sun, which had been ambushed by the dark clouds, finally reacted, the raindrops gradually thinned, and the wind that was blowing in our faces became much gentler.

A moment later, as if realizing something, the sun took advantage of the clouds spreading out and a ray of sunlight tentatively pierced through the gaps in the clouds, shining on the damp ground.

Under the sunlight, the water droplets reflected shimmering light, and as more and more sunlight shone through, the small enclosure became much brighter than before.

Luna said with a smile, "The rain has stopped! It should be a nice afternoon! I happen to have herbalism class!"

Vizette looked at Luna, where rays of sunlight lingered on her shoulders and hair, as if she were draped in a hazy golden halo, making her look like a fairy in the forest.

……

"Woo...Woo..."

A snarling sound came from not far away. It had several weasels in its mouth, its eyes and steps were extremely panicked, and it was whimpering.

Behind it was a book called "The Monster Book of Monsters," its pages covered in dirt and grass clippings, chasing after Ya Ya menacingly.

Yaya is actually very similar to Hagrid. Although he is a Neapolitan Mastiff, he looks tall and mighty, but he is very gentle and even a little timid. He is very enthusiastic towards visiting friends.

It's quite normal for it to be chased by a book at this point.

Yaya quickly came up behind Vizette and Luna, gently rubbed against them, and then poked her head out and whimpered twice.

“Let’s handle this!” Vizet rubbed Yaya’s head and easily controlled the “Book of Monsters” that was rushing towards him.

Vizette slightly adjusted her position, revealing the spine of "The Book of Monsters," while Luna tacitly moved to the opposite side and scratched the spine of "The Book of Monsters" a few times.

"The Book of Yokai" trembled twice, then stopped struggling and became as quiet as a normal book.

This was a solution Luna came up with when Vizette wanted to read the book after they got home;

She believes that since "The Book of Yokai" is so much like an animal, it should be treated like an animal to appease it;

Perhaps it is because it has come to a new environment or has been stimulated in some way that "The Book of Yokai" feels uneasy and thus exhibits aggressive behavior;

She gently stroked the cover of "The Monster Book of Monsters" as if soothing a small animal. After finding that the book was not so restless, she scratched the spine of the book, which made the book completely quiet.

Luna's judgment was undoubtedly accurate. She even wrote a letter to Flourish and Blotts, informing the bookstore staff of this solution.

……

"Oh dear! This book is like a docile kitten in your hands!" Hagrid returned just in time to see Luna scratching the spine of "The Monster Book of Monsters".

"What do you think? Isn't this book fantastic? I spent a long time choosing before finally deciding to use it as my textbook!"

"It's like a small animal; you have to be able to get along with small animals to get along well with it... Now it seems that you've done that."

Upon hearing this, both Vizette and Luna laughed.

Vizette coughed lightly. "It seems I haven't quite mastered the trick yet. The way I dealt with it back then was by hypnotizing it with magic. This method of scratching the spine was Luna's idea."

"Good girl!" Hagrid nodded in satisfaction. "Oh, by the way! Let me introduce you to a handsome young man! Buckbeak, come out!"

At his call, a hippogriff emerged from the shadows, its head held high and each step perfectly timed, as it slowly strolled up behind Hagrid.

Just like its name suggests, the Hippogriff is a combination of an eagle and a horse. Its front half resembles a giant eagle, while the part that should belong to its tail feathers is the body of a horse.

Hagrid was right; Buckbeak was indeed a "handsome young man," his silver-gray feathers still damp with rain, shimmering with a cold light in the sunlight.

It has a pair of orange eyes, sharp as an eagle's, and a beak the color of steel, hard and cold. Even when facing a rock, it seems that it can make a crack with just a light peck.

His hindquarters were also wet, the silver-gray fur clinging to his body, outlining his taut muscles, as if containing explosive power.

……

"Come on! Have some first!" Hagrid beckoned to Tooth, picked up a ferret, and tossed it into the air.

Buckbeak was quickly drawn to the ferret. Its sharp eagle eyes never blinked as it casually poked its head out, precisely snatched the ferret into its mouth, and swallowed it with a swift and decisive motion.

"Good boy!" Hagrid gently patted Buckbeak's neck. "Let me introduce him to you! Buckbeak, a hippogriff!"

"They're not picky eaters at all; they usually find their own snacks, like small insects in the soil... Generally, if you haven't built a good relationship with them, they won't eat what you give them..."

“Yes! They are just that proud, like eagles, aren’t they?” He gently stroked Buckbeak’s beak, his gentle tone as if he were introducing his own child.

Hagrid knew the hippogriff very well, and could explain its characteristics, habits, habitats, and how to interact with it in detail.

At the end, both Vizette and Luna clapped their hands.

"Hagrid, is this your lesson plan?" Vizette asked. "Are you planning to use this as your lesson plan?"

“Lesson preparation materials?” Hagrid scratched his head. “Of course not! I’m just introducing them to you! They’re so excellent, I can’t just give a dry introduction like this!”

Luna asked curiously, "So what do you plan to do?"

"I'm only telling you!" Hagrid whispered. "You absolutely mustn't tell anyone. I'm going to give them a surprise!"

Seeing Hagrid's excited expression, Vizet and Luna exchanged a glance, seemingly already guessing what Hagrid might be up to...

Chapter 155 Making Friends with Hippogriffs

“Here’s my plan!” Hagrid said without reservation, his tone filled with immense pride, “I intend to use this afternoon’s class to let the students get to know them better!”

"They are really easy to get along with. As long as you are polite, bow to them, and feed them a little, that's it! Really! It's that simple!"

"These little cuties have only been here for half a month, but I'm already quite familiar with them! After all, it's the first class, and I want to leave a good impression on the students so that they can relax a bit during the first class!"

"Once the students get to know these little guys, we'll arrange other courses so they can go see more distant places with them!"

"Did you know? These little guys are really careless when they lay their babies! They're so careless when building their nests that the eggs are so fragile and easily broken..."

Hagrid stroked Buckbeak's neck feathers and eloquently recounted his comprehensive plan;

He had clearly made careful preparations, intending to take his students to learn more about the hippogriff;

He has high expectations for the students and believes that as long as they follow the rules and respect the hippogriff, they can safely interact with the hippogriff and experience the charm of magical creatures.

The goal of this course is to spark students' interest in amazing creatures and inspire their enthusiasm for further learning and exploration.

……

Hagrid's vision was wonderful, but it contained considerable hidden dangers.

The current situation is that he is somewhat impatient and hopes to introduce his group of friends to his other group of friends as soon as possible;

Although the two groups of friends had never interacted with each other, Hagrid felt they could get along well;

This idea likely stems from Hagrid's own experiences. As a gamekeeper, he frequently had to patrol deep into the Forbidden Forest, where he encountered far too many magical creatures.

Given Haigrik's own identity as a half-giant, his size and attitude make it quite natural for him to get along with the magical creatures.

For students who are new to this course, it is obviously quite difficult to grasp all of this immediately;

If the pace of the class is not well controlled, accidents may easily occur, and it will be very troublesome to handle them afterward.

Hagrid's knowledge of magical creatures is undoubtedly vast, and if an accident were to damage his confidence, it would be much more difficult for him to acquire this knowledge in the future.

Snape once told Vizet that to go further on the path of potions, one needs to constantly learn about potion ingredients and study the properties of potions in depth.

This understanding can be multifaceted; it can be achieved not only by meticulously analyzing a material from the perspective of potion-making, thereby enhancing one's understanding of that material.

We can also study the magical animals that produce the corresponding materials from a more comprehensive perspective, thereby enhancing our understanding of a particular material.

Hagrid's description of the hippogriff was very comprehensive, which is knowledge that Vizet greatly needs.

By carefully analyzing the materials, you can determine which properties you need from them.

A comprehensive study of the corresponding magical creatures can help us understand when to obtain materials to achieve the best results.

According to Vizet, meticulousness and comprehensiveness, macro and micro perspectives, complement each other and are one of the secrets to going further on the path of potion making.

This is one of the most direct examples. Wizette has always understood that "all roads lead to Rome" and "learning by analogy" means that it is never a bad thing to be able to learn knowledge more deeply.

……

Luna said, "Hagrid, I found your introduction quite interesting!"

"The introduction just now?" Hagrid scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment in his voice. "Was it... was it true?"

Luna raised her hand slightly and touched the back of Vizet's hand.

Vizette replied knowingly, "I think it's wonderful too! How should I put it? It's like witnessing its entire life..."

"From the moment the hippogriff hatches, to when it learns to build a nest and rest, to when it learns to forage for food, and then to when it makes other friends, it's all very vivid!"

“After your introduction… I feel like I’m old friends with them too.” Luna slowly walked forward and looked at Buckbeak, speaking softly.

Vizette focused her attention and stared intently at Luna.

Buckbeak noticed Luna's gaze, met her eyes, and quickly leaned down, adopting a bowing posture.

"Look, it bowed first!" Hagrid exclaimed excitedly. "What a wonderful child! It's so polite!"

Luna lifted the hem of her robe and bowed, saying, "Hello! Buckbeak!"

She slowly bent down, her eyes filled with respect and tenderness, as if greeting a long-lost friend.
